The Best Toner for Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, then using a toner is really important, as oily skin benefits from being really clean. All skin types benefit from using a toner, but if you have oily skin then we recommend taking care with the formula that you use, and using a kind and natural one like our Purifying Face Toner.

When we say that a toner helps to keep oily skin really clean, we do not mean that squeaky tight clean that used to be in fashion decades ago. Instead, we mean thoroughly clean, but without any dryness or irritation. If a toner is too stripping to skin, then it throws it off balance and skin fights back by producing more oil to counteract the situation and bring harmony back. Anything that disrupts the skin barrier is not recommended for any skin type. Instead, all skin types benefit from a gentle cleansing and detoxing toner that clears and conditions.

The Best Toner for Oily Skin

At Nakin we have a stunning toner which is our Nakin Purifying Face Toner which we believe is the best face toner for oily skin. It is actually made for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This is because the actives inside are not oily or drying, instead they are improving and enhancing to skin. Read on to find out why our Purifying Face Toner is one of the best toners around.

• If you have oily skin, then it can feel like it is always looking shiny and greasy. That’s why our natural face toner contains the best plant ingredients to help the complexion to look as fresh, clean and healthy as possible. It is used after our natural cleansing milk for the perfect two step cleansing routine.
• It is full of hydration, but the right kind for oily skin, and this is especially from the hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is completely non-comedogenic and so is able to hydrate oily skin without clogging pores. It also prevents dehydration and plumps skin.
• The formula is really balancing to all skin types. Working just as well for oily areas as dry areas. This is because the toner does not contain any oily or drying ingredients, and instead all the ingredients are really conditioning.
• The active ingredients make this an incredibly anti-ageing face toner. It clears, brightens, hydrates and tones skin perfectly. Also helping the face and neck to be best placed to receive the actives applied afterwards, in treatments such as serums and oils.
• If you have oily skin then you will likely have faced issues like blackheads, whiteheads and breakouts. This toner helps to gently clear pores while being soothing and calming at the same time, even calming redness with the gentle but detoxing seaweed extract.
• The kind gentle formula can be used twice daily in the morning and evening, without the risk of irritation that many liquid cleansers have. This is because it is free of strong ingredients like synthetic AHA’s & BHA’s. These strong chemical exfoliants can be really hard hitting on skin and many people with sensitive skin cannot use them.
• After using our face toner you should feel results instantly and these build up over time, with skin looking better and better as the weeks and months go by. This is because it helps with cell regeneration, and it takes a while for the new cells to come through to the surface.

How a Good Toner Helps Oily Skin

For individuals with oily skin, a good toner can be a game-changer in their skincare routine. Toners help to balance the skin's levels, ensuring it stays neither too oily nor too dry. By removing excess oil and lingering impurities that cleansers may have missed, toners help prevent clogged pores, which can lead to breakouts. Additionally, many toners like ours contain ingredients like witch hazel, which not only control oil production but also reduce inflammation and provide a soothing effect. Incorporating a suitable toner into your skincare regimen can lead to a clearer, more refined complexion, making it an essential step for anyone dealing with oily skin.

Aside from its balancing and clarifying benefits, a toner can also serve as a multi-purpose product for individuals with oily skin. The best toners like ours are formulated with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, making them effective at providing moisture to the skin without adding extra oil. Additionally, good toners can act as a treatment, delivering active ingredients deeper into the skin for targeted treatments. This makes toners an excellent addition to any skincare routine, especially for those dealing with oily skin.

When choosing a toner for oily skin, it is essential to look for products that are labelled "natural". These products are specifically formulated to not clog pores or add extra oil to the skin. Additionally, it is best to avoid toners with alcohol, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause over-drying. Instead, opt for toners with gentle and soothing ingredients. 

To use a toner effectively, apply it after cleansing your face and before serums and moisturising. Simply pour some toner onto a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face, focusing on areas prone to oiliness. You can also pat the toner directly onto your skin using clean hands for better absorption. It is important to note that toners should not be used as a substitute for cleansing, and they should not be applied more than twice throughout the day as too much cleansing can disrupt the skin's natural balance.

Toners are one of our favourite steps in a skin care routine, and an essential part of effective facial cleansing. We all know the main skincare steps are cleansing, moisturising & sunscreen, and a face toner falls into the cleansing area. When oily skin is toned effectively it will be clear, fresh and nourished, plus ready to best receive the actives applied afterwards in the form of serums and oils. This is why we never see toners as an additional product, but instead they are an important one to keep skin looking its best.
